A journey through my last year as a twenty-something

Reconnecting (361 Days)

In the last few years I haven't been a very good friend. I used to have a bunch of friends I hung out with, but at some point I just stopped. That's sad. I've been thinking a lot about these people as of late and it really hit me yesterday when I commented on a friends picture on MySpace of her and a guy. I considered this person to be my best friend for more more than 20 years and now I don't know who these people are with her in the pictures. I still talk to her on occasion online but it's been more than 2 years since I saw her in person...and we only live an hour away from each other.


She isn't the only person I have lost contact with but this is the one that bothers me the most. We have known each other since we were 4 and now the only time we talk is through random online comments every few months. We used to spend nearly every day together and I spent more time at her house than I did mine. We've talked about getting together from time to time but it never works out.

I am making this one of my top priorities for this year. I want to reconnect with people I have lost touch with. People who were once some of the most important people in my life. People who know nearly everything about me and I about them. I just hope they will let me back into their lives.

Do you have friends you want to reconnect with? What are you doing to make this possible?
